Kids Klub
Our Kids Klub Account is a special account just for children ages 12 and younger. It helps children learn how to save early in life so when they’re older, they can convert to a Student Checking to learn not only how to save wisely but to spend wisely as well. Also, if you refer someone to open a Kids Klub account for their children or grandchildren, we will deposit $10 in their new Kids Klub Account to get them started!
